If it's anything like today you can expect a 12 knot forecast that actually produces gusts to 25 and a 3 metre swell with white caps........despite Sea Breeze still showing a max of 20knots and wave height of 2 metres

Bunch of GPS co-ords here along with a little bit of commentary ...

But don't fish Henderson Rock ... in a piece of Marine Parks zoning stupidity, its a Grey Nurse reserve even for surface trolling ... That's your tax dollars being used in your interests.

The trench is an an area approx east of Huthies and the top of Moreton Island (south of caloundra wide)

It is commonly trawelled by game boats over summer, common catches include sail fish and small marlin

Have a look at the sunmap fishing map for moreton and the gps point available as noted by liberty

Over summer it gets quite busy
